Teacher Name:



Teacher Name: Ann Schultz

Classes and Grades Taught: Honors Biology for 9th through 12th grades, Regular Biology for 9th through 12th grades

Lesson Dates: December 12-16, 2011

Unit Topic: The Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Unit Objectives: Explain how characteristics of living things are passed on from generation to generation.

Previous Lesson Topic: Introduction to cell division and mitosis

Current Lesson Topics: Reinforce and extend understanding of the processes of the cell cycle and mitosis through Cell Growth and Reproduction reading and reflection, Lesson 8: DNA and Cell Division worksheet, Chromosome Foldable activity, mitosis lab and report, mitosis sequencing, DNA and RNA quiz, finish watching “And the Band Played On”

Next Lesson Topic: Mitosis Flip Books, DNA mutations, Introduction to Meiosis

Lesson Objectives

Students will be able to:

Explain that hereditary information is contained in genes, located in the chromosomes of each cell; that cells contain many thousands of different genes; that one or many genes can determine an inherited trait of an individual, and a single gene can influence more than one trait; and that before a cell divides, this genetic information must be copied and apportioned evenly into the daughter cells.

Standards Addressed:

B1.1D Identify patterns in data and relate them to theoretical models.

B1.2C Develop an understanding of a scientific concept by accessing information from multiple sources. Evaluate the scientific accuracy and significance of the information.

B1.2D Evaluate scientific explanations in a peer review process or discussion format.

B4.2B Recognize that every species has its own characteristic DNA sequence.

B4.3A Compare and contrast the processes of cell division (mitosis and meiosis), particularly as those processes relate to production of new cells and to passing on genetic information between generations.

Students will demonstrate accomplishment of objectives by:
